Overheard

Two parents shopping for a jockstrap for their son:

Mom: Oh my god, it’s so big! There’s no way he’ll ever need this size!

Dad: . . .

Mom: Uh, no reflection on you.

    oh, and thanks for the vaca tips.

  3. ROFL! That’s hilarious! Daren remarked when both boys were born, that they would DEFINITELY be as well-hung as him. GEEZ. Men are so obsessed with their brains, er, peckers!

    OH. MY. GOSH.

    Are you serious? If there son was there, he TOTALLY would have been mortified. I bet the look on his face would have been priceless.

    Ha, this reminds me of like every single dad who saw the penis in the 20 week sonogram and made the old, “heh, takes after his dad” chestnut.

    no way. i don’t believe you. you had to make that up.

    …right? ;)

    or do people actually let themselves say stupid things like that in public?

    …oh yeah, they do.

    I would have had a really hard time not laughing my ass off

    FYI: jock straps are sized by waist size…not package size.

    I guess everyone was misled on that one.

    That kid’s gonna need therapy almost as much as that jockstrap.

    Jockstraps…oh, I don’t want to think about jockstraps. Imagine my son’s horror when his two mothers have to shop for his jockstrap. Therapy all around…

    that comment should have been made about the cup, not the jockstrap. but yes, still funny.

  12. Miss Kitty says:

    Indeed–still hilarious!

  13. Mathew, you are such a noodge. Must I go back and change it to “Mom holding jockstrap with giant cup inserted into jockstrap”?

  14. mathew says:

    well, i don’t want to get into the whole jockstrap issue, but there are more than one sort and not all have cups and some cups are bigger than others and here i am noodging it up.
